Chapter 76 Lifelike ancient skills
Zhang Hao closed his eyes as before, silently digesting this sudden knowledge.
After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and carefully reviewed the knowledge he had just gained in his mind.
The carving knowledge he had just acquired was different from the carvings he had seen before. No, it should be very different.
Common carvings are those where craftsmen use knives or other tools to imitate the shape of an object bit by bit. They only imitate the shape, not the meaning.
A master carver with good enough skills can even make the carved objects look lifelike, as if they are real.
Zhang Hao had seen such a master craftsman on TV before, and the things he carved were indeed very similar, with shapes of eight or nine points. Some masters could imitate their meanings, but they could only look like two or three points.
After all, ordinary carving is not creation. It is impossible to make it exactly the same, and it is impossible to really imitate its meaning.
It is easy to imitate its shape, but difficult to imitate its meaning, and it requires great skills.
However, the carving skills acquired by Zhang Hao can be said to be able to directly defeat this ordinary carving skill.
The carving skills he learned mainly imitated his ideas.
In other words, not only will the shapes of the things he carves be exactly the same as those seen, but their artistic conception will also be eighty or ninety percent similar.
And if the imitation of its meaning can reach about eight or nine points, it can make it have some spirituality.
For example, if Zhang Hao carves a Xiaobai out of wood, then the wooden Xiaobai will still be a wooden Xiaobai. It is impossible for him to come back to life, but he will have Xiaobai's spirituality, and long-term worship can feed it back to Xiaobai.
Of course, this is just an example, and Zhang Hao will not really carve out a novice.
The most powerful thing about this carving skill is that Zhang Hao can use it to carve everything in the world.
For example, the [Thunder Tribulation Wood] he just obtained.
[Thunder Tribulation Wood] belongs to the category of mountain treasures and is not a mortal object.
If ordinary carvings are used to carve [Thunder Tribulation Wood], there will only be one final result, and that is less than one-tenth of the role [Thunder Tribulation Wood] can ultimately play.
To put it simply, it is a waste of such good materials and a waste of resources.
But if you use the carving skills that Zhang Haogang has mastered, you can use [Thunder Tribulation Wood] 100% of its effect without wasting it.
This is also what Zhang Hao is most satisfied with.
From the moment he obtained the [Thunder Tribulation Wood], he had been thinking about what would be better to use this piece of [Thunder Tribulation Wood] for.
He only knew that [Thunder Tribulation Wood] had a strong evil-proofing effect, but he didn't know the details.
If he didn't have the newly acquired carving skills, he might just choose to put the [Thunder Tribulation Wood] at home to ward off evil spirits, or take it with him every time he goes out to the mountains to ward off evil spirits.
But this will not bring out the true use of [Thunder Tribulation Wood] at all.
But now that he has the carving skill, he can make this [Thunder Tribulation Wood] play its real role.
Thinking of this, Zhang Hao lowered his head and carefully read the detailed records of [Thunder Tribulation Wood] in the ancient books.
【Detailed Explanation of Thunder Tribulation Wood】
[Thunder Tribulation Wood: It has the same purpose as the Thunder Strike Wood, but is even more effective in warding off evil spirits...]
[Thunder Tribulation Wood can be used to hang above the bed, placed at home, and carried with you...]
[Thunder Tribulation Wood can be carefully carved, and ancient carving techniques are needed to carve it into any shape. It can ward off evil spirits, avoid disasters, and shock the gods...]
Zhang Haozai carefully read this page of the detailed explanation of Thunder Tribulation Wood.
To put it simply, the main function of [Thunder Tribulation Wood] is to ward off evil spirits. It can be said that it is carried on the body. When walking in the mountains, ordinary mountain spirits and wild monsters have no chance to rely on it, and even the powerful mountain spirits cannot rely on it. As a wild monster, the probability of success against him is not very high. If it is placed at home, basically all innocent disasters will not appear suddenly. Although it cannot guarantee that the family will be prosperous and the fortune will be enhanced, the family members will never be possessed by evil spirits, or encounter something similar to a ghost breaking a wall. .
If ancient carving techniques are used to carve [Thunder Tribulation Wood], the carved things will naturally have the effect of warding off evil spirits and have other functions.
It will definitely need to be engraved.
But what should I carve?
After thinking about it, Zhang Hao still hasn't made up his mind, but he doesn't care too much. Anyway, now that he knows the use of [Thunder Tribulation Wood] and has ancient carving skills, he can carve whatever he wants to carve when he thinks of it. That’s it.
Snap.
Closing the [Mountain Travel Record], Zhang Hao sat on the chair and turned to look at the [Thunder Tribulation Wood] placed in the Spirit-Reinforcement Basket.
Then, he gave up the idea of carving the [Thunder Tribulation Wood] now.
After all, when you don't know how well you master the ancient carving technique, it is the best and safest way to test the waters with ordinary wood first.
When he thought of this, he straightened his body, turned around and walked out of the room. He shouted to the main room with the door closed: "Siyu, I'm going out to buy something."
Without waiting for Li Siyu to respond, Zhang Hao stepped on the bluestone slabs under his feet and walked out of the courtyard, following the muddy path in the village and following the path in his memory.
……
Not long after.
Zhang Hao returned home again with a set of carving tools and an ordinary piece of firewood.
He bought the carving tools from a carving master in the village, and the ordinary firewood was a random piece of firewood found in the firewood pile.
"Wangwangwang, ow~"
Just as Zhang Hao moved a small bench and sat in the courtyard, holding a carving tool and preparing to practice using firewood, Xiao Bai staggered over.
Seeing Xiao Bai's cute appearance and the hair on his body becoming smooth, shiny and clean, a smile appeared on his face.
After feeding Xiaobai herbs during this period of time, the little guy has grown up a bit now. He has completely gotten rid of the sick feeling and has grown into a healthy puppy.
Even though my eyes haven't opened yet, it may take a while.
Xiaobai came closer, sniffed at Zhang Hao's feet, and then lay down directly, with two small white paws on Zhang Hao's feet, his head on top, licked his nose, and felt comfortable .
This little guy...
Zhang Hao smiled and ignored it. Instead, he picked up the rough carving knife and focused on the thick firewood. He concentrated on it and recalled the ancient carving skills he had just acquired in his mind.
Holding the rough carving knife in his hand, his eyes lit up, and the other hand held the firewood tightly. The carving knife flew up and down in his hand, leaving traces on the firewood, and the sawdust fell like snowflakes.
The sun is in full swing, and the dazzling sun hangs high in the sky and reaches the exact center position.
Zhang Hao is sitting in the courtyard, the rough carving knife in his hand has turned into a small carving knife for carving details, and the piece of firewood has also changed from a thick piece of firewood into a small, delicate four-legged one. Fox statue.
In one morning, he carved a piece of firewood into a palm-sized fox statue.
And it looks lifelike, with the corners of its grinning mouth revealing the fangs inside. The hairs are like filaments, as if they will sway with the wind when a gust of wind blows. There are also those pointed ears, and those slightly cunning eyes.
In addition to the wood-colored color and smaller size, both in terms of image and meaning, at a glance he looks like a fox.
If Liu Wenchang were here, he might be able to get another wave of stimulation and yell like crazy.
